Hey all, so I picked up Dark Basic Pro the other day, and today I finally decided to "churn" out something, not using the tutorials, eyeballing the index of the Help when needed of course.

So I have wrote a basic "music" player that plays different songs from my collection depending on what key number you press (1,2,3,4,5,6) also have a Q key that will quit, and R key that generates a Random number and then activates that song

I know my coding isn't perfect, I am only a couple days old I have been looking at different "ways" to layout coding etc. So here is what I have achieved in a few hours.

Thanks for your contribution Hayer. It was really helpful

@maybe123,
Not bad for a first program, and well done on figuring out what scancodes you needed to use.

One minor improvement you could make - you are using floating point variables for everything when integers would be more fitting. Just take the # off the mus# and rand# variables.

It's quite refreshing for a first post to be constructive, rather than "Gimme teh codez". Let's hope your enthusiasm rubs off on a few more people

Thankyou IanM, I wasn't 100% sure I needed the # or anything as I found later that it worked without them. I was reading the "HandsOnDBProVol1.pdf" today and came across that aswell. Thanks to all for the comments. Next step, some "Eye candy" to go with my Music Player I guess, I figure seeing how I have worked out a little about music and playing etc, adding graphics to it wouldnt hurt, as then I would of learnt some 2D graphics also that I may as well expand upon that seeing how I make my own music FL Studio is very handy if I do say myself. I haven't really used anything else so if you have any suggestions I am more than welcome to learn it or try it out.

Also here is a "free to use non commercial use of cause, random non good song ".
